eVolo Magazine recently announced the winners of its global 2022 Skyscraper Competition. The jury selected three winners and 20 honorable mentions out of 427 project nominations. First place was awarded to Climate Control Skyscraper, designed by Kim Gyeong Jeung, Min Yeong Gi, and Yu Sang Gu from South Korea. This project investigates the use of a series of skyscrapers to modify weather conditions to improve the global climate crisis and stop desertification, rising temperatures and natural disasters. Second place was awarded to Wang Jue, Zhang Qian, Zhang Changsheng, Li Muchun, and Xu Jing from China for the project TSUNAMI PARK, which is designed as a man-made inhabited mangrove for the Tonga region to prevent tsunamis that would affect the Pacific Rim. The third-place award went to New Spring: Agro-Ecological Skyscraper by Michał Spólnik from Austria and Marcin Kitala from Poland. The proposal is envisioned as an aggregation of garden modules containing distinct flora and microorganisms that could be deployed to specific regions that would flourish with new life. The annual award was established in 2006 and “recognizes visionary ideas that, through the novel use of technology, materials, programs, aesthetics and spatial organizations, challenge the way we understand vertical architecture and its relationship with the natural and built environments.”
